Road Tough. Studio Ready.

For more than a century, Yamaha has been building a legacy of superior craftsmanship and innovation

exemplified in all of our products, from an unrivalled catalog of world-class musical instruments to

touring-grade professional audio. Now in its third incarnation, the MG Series embodies this pursuit of

design excellence, and incorporates some of the same technologies developed for use in high-end profes-

sional consoles, including studio-quality preamps, powerful digital processing, and a rugged, reliable

construction.

With an intuitive, easy-to-use interface, the MG Series boasts an extensive lineup of compact mixing

consoles with models ranging from six to twenty channels, suitable for a diverse range of users and ap-

plications. For installed, recording, or live music settings, the solid construction and flexible design of

these consoles lets you shape your sound with confidence, continually delivering peak performance and

a level of sound quality and reliability unrivalled in its class.

Yamaha has always strived to provide sound engineers with the purest possible signal
instead of added processing or color to give it a “signature” sound, and the MG Series is
no exception. Embracing this philosophy of transparent sound, these mixing consoles de­liver a level of sonic purity and sound quality that is unmatched in their class.

D-PRE Discrete Class-A Mic Preamps

This is where it all starts. Everything you do as a sound engineer is dependent on the

quality of your preamps, which determines the direction your mix will take, and ulti-

mately how good it is going to sound. MG Series mixing consoles feature Yamaha’s

studio-grade discrete class-A D-PRE preamps, which utilize an inverted Darlington

circuit comprising two cascading transistors in a configuration that provides more

power with lower impedance. Delivering fat, natural sounding bass and smooth, soar-

ing highs, with very low distortion, D-PRE preamps possess an impressively wide

frequency range that allow them to handle signal from any audio source without overly

amplifying any specific elements of the sound. Having such a pure sonic platform to

build on will ultimately save you time and effort by eliminating the need for excessive

EQing or additional effects processing in order to “fix” your mix.

High Quality Sound Op-amp Switchable Phantom Power & PAD Switch

The head amp determines sound quality, and op-amp integrated circuits are one of the most

important parts in the head amp circuit. MG Series mixers feature new, high-quality, custom-

made MG01 op-amps that we developed in cooperation with the semiconductor manufac-

turer. Although many other Op-amps prioritize electrical design and efficiency, we worked

03 04

directly with the semiconductor manufacturer to focus on sound quality first. MG01 op-amps

feature redesigned circuitry in which even the internal components and wiring have been

optimized, and use materials such as high-quality silicon wafers and copper wire to achieve

superb resolution.

With phantom power, MG Series consoles allow you to take

full advantage of the greater frequency response and high

sound quality of condenser microphones. The input chan-

nel with PAD switch accepts MIC to line level of inputs, PAD

Switch attenuates high input signals that often accompany

mic’ed instruments during performance, avoiding the clipping

that can seriously affect your mix.

Our mixer. Your sound.

When was the last time you heard guitar without EQ or a completely unprocessed vocal
on one of your favorite songs? Probably never. Yamaha mixers are famous for their flat
response and sonic purity, but it often takes more than a perfectly-captured instrumental
performance or vocal to achieve a professional-sounding mix. Equipped with some of the
same state-of-the-art functionality featured on Yamaha’s high-end consoles, the MG Series
gives you the tools you need to produce high quality sound that is uniquely your own.

1-knob Compressors

Compression plays an essential role in just about any

recording or sound reinforcement environment by altering the

level of dynamics of an audio signal when you need livelier

guitars, punchier bass lines, a tighter snare, or a cleaner vocal

sound. However, it can take countless hours to master the

complexities of even the most basic outboard compression

units and use them effectively. Originally a Yamaha innovation,

1-knob compressors are now an industry standard that gives

you instant access to optimized compression settings via a

single rotary control.

EQ and High-pass Filters

There’s nothing more useful than reliable equalization when you need nuanced management of your tone.

The MG Series benefits from Yamaha’s unparalleled experience in designing pro audio gear, featuring

3-band equalizers on all mono channels for precise control of your sound. High-pass filter allows you to

eliminate unwanted low-frequency noise, for a smoother, cleaner mix.

AUX / Effect Sends / Group

MG Series mixers feature up to AUX sends for expanding your sound reinforcement or recording setup,

allowing you to incorporate additional effects, output to external recording devices, or feed to an moni-

toring system. Master send controls are also provided. The MG06 / 06X and MG10 / 10XU have a single

stereo bus. All other models additionally feature one or two stereo group buses and outputs that can be

used for convenient channel grouping. Assign switches for the stereo and group buses are located next

to each channel fader.

A variety of input / output
connectors

All models feature high-quality Neutrik™ balanced XLR con-

nectors on mono microphone/line channels and XLR equipped

stereo channels. Each of the mono inputs is equipped with

combo jack and accepts both MIC and LINE level signals.

Two of the stereo inputs are equipped with XLR and two phone

connectors with XLR accepting MIC level signals while two

phone connectors accepting LINE level signals and can be

used either mono or stereo. (except for 10ch model) The func-

tion of another two stereo channel var y depending on model:

With 20ch model, XLR accepts MIC level signal and two RCA

connectors accepts LINE level signals and can be used either

mono or stereo. With 16ch and 12ch models, two phone con-

nectors accept LINE level signals as stereo. Additionally, each

of the stereo channel features 2TR in (RCA connectors) and

can be used as independent input from external audio sources

such as CDs. 10ch is equipped with additional stereo chan-

nel with a pair of phone jack that accepts LINE levels. With XU

models, any incoming source that are sent via USB can be

assigned to one of the stereo channel.

In addition to the main stereo outputs (XLR L/R, TRS phone L/

R), MG Series mixing consoles are equipped with a compre-

hensive suite of output connectors, including GROUP OUT

(TRS phone), AUX/FX OUT (TRS phone), MONITOR OUT (TRS

phone L/R), and HEADPHONE OUT (stereo phone) connec-

tors, allowing master outputs to be chosen to suit specific

applications such as monitoring or mastering.

LED level metering

Easy-to-read LED level metering allows output levels to be

monitored with precision.

Built-in SPX Digital Effects

For musical and non-musical applications alike, effects processing adds polish and professionalism to the mix. The MG X / XU

models features Yamaha’s acclaimed SPX digital multi-effect processor, offering a comprehensive suite of 24 editable digital

effects perfect for enhancing your mix, whether adding depth to a speaking engagement or breathing new color and atmo-

sphere into a live band performance. In particular, the high-quality reverb and delay expand the spatial quality of the sound with

remarkable realism and naturalness. You can even connect an optional FC5 foot switch for effect on / off control. (MG10XU /

For gigging, recording, and installed applications alike, your console can be subjected to a
wide range of environmental conditions and hazards. Excessive humidity, unstable power sup­plies, and the rigors of road travel in general can take a serious toll on a mixing console, often
causing expensive, time-consuming repairs, and reducing its lifespan. The MG Series has been
redesigned with an emphasis on durability, incorporating practical features that offer greater
flexibility while ensuring peak performance for many years to come.

Metal Chassis

Built to last, MG Series mixers feature a rugged, impact-resistant, powder-coated

metal chassis, offering an unrivalled level of durability. With a sleek design con-

toured for optimal convection cooling, the internal layout separates the power sup-

ply from the analog circuitry for superior noise reduction, and further extends the

life of the components inside. To further ensure reliable performance, knob control

placement above the surface of the chassis diverts any impact or pressure on the

knobs to the chassis itself and not the circuit board or components underneath.
